GET ON THE TRAIN! This is University of Louisville defensive coordinator, Vance Bedford, speaking to the media prior to the 2011 football season. Coach Bedford at the time of this video is about to begin year two of a turnaround effort. Prior to his arrival in Louisville a year earlier, the Cardinals had completed a third straight season with a losing record and missing a bowl game. By the end of Bedford's second season on staff at Louisville, the Cards had appeared in two straight bowl games, finished in a tie for the Big East championship and brought in two of the best recruiting classes in school history. Bedford and the coaching staff have a clear VISION of where they wanted to go and are filled with PASSION and BELIEF that they would fulfill that vision. I feel just as passionate that the Eminence V.O.I.C.E. Team will fulfill our vision. We are going to change the way school is done. Get on the train folks! It's comin'!
Changing the Education Paradigm: Many of us have been told, "If it ain't broke, then don't fix it." At the core of the V.O.I.C.E. Team is the belief that school as we know it is broken. This team has been formed in order to address this problem and propel Eminence into the next generation of teaching and learning. In his TED Talk, Sir Ken Robinson speaks about the foundation of education and why we must change the paradigm. As we look forward and design the school of the future, consider Sir Ken Robinson's thoughts on the issues that face our education system.
Are Schools Dangerously Irrelevant? Dr. Scott McLeod is a director of CASTLE at the University of Kentucky. Eminence, through our partnership with the Next Generation Leadership Academy and the University of Kentucky, has worked closely with Dr. McLeod over the past year rethinking our vision for the future. The V.O.I.C.E. Team is an offspring of that partnership. In his talk, "Are Schools Becoming Dangerously Irrelevant?", McLeod discusses two major shifts in education.
1. How do we prepare our graduates for a changing economic world?
2. The dominant information landscape is in a transition that McLeod compares to the invention of the printing press. Now anyone can become a "content creator." We must rethink our traditional thoughts formed in the old information landscape.
